If you are goin to get another one you need to keep them in seperate rooms for 30 days. This quarantine is to make sure your new glider is not sick and gives somthing to your old glider. You need to wash your hands real good and change your clothes before going from one cage to another. Gliders can hide an illness really well, in the wild it is a matter of survival. 30 days is recommended, and seperate foods making sure you wash your hands before going from one gliders things to another.....It is a lot of work, these animals are not like puppies or kittens, they require a lot of attention and individualized treatment.......
Good luck.....
